We are just out of a summer with five record breaking heatwaves which literally killed thousands and bought climate change up close and personal for millions for the first time. This should be the Greens' big moment in history. But instead they're doing this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Without WW1 I would be Austrian now. Without WW2 Czech. Today I'm European - and with free movement across the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland who cares anyway.

Very disturbing that a political party has moved from saying that there should be no penalty for encouragement to violence, to calling for reduced penalties for literally blowing things up. A party manifestly not fit for political office.

#OTD in 1938. Neville Chamberlain deals with "a quarrel in a far-away country between people of whom we know nothing" and co-signs the Munich Agreement, giving in to Hitler's demands and handing him large parts of Czechoslovakia. And thereby making my great-grandparents and grandparents Germans.

What happens when countries don't exist any more? All my grandparents were born in Austria-Hungary, grew up in Czechoslovakia and became refugees in West Germany after WW2.

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.

Liar. Small boat crossings peaked under Johnson in 2022 reaching 46,000 in 2022. In current year they are 18,565 and falling. Also prior to Boris Johnson's Brexit there were none.
It's a disaster, and it can all be traced to
Labour ideology. Burnham has no mandate
from the people. He has no real ideas, and
no plan,

Why have we reached a stage where people call in to @natashadevon.bsky.social and say they want people to drown? Well headlines like this don’t help. Let’s forget that numbers are way down on years previous and just keep stoking fear and division. This is why the RNLI is under attack.
